Probably not. All you need is a word list for each language. As long as you have a font that supports the characters, there aren't any major issues that would prevent you from generating non-English captchas. Bug 5309 points out a couple minor issues with the captcha script. You may have to generate word lists for some languages, but I doubt that would take all summer. It's just a matter of someone sitting down and doing it.
